Sorrow's Anthem

Начало книги

My editor, Peter Wolverton, deserves the foremost thanks, as he remained confident that there was a book somewhere in the initial mess, and gave me the time and guidance I needed to see it through. Working with Pete and my agent, the supportive and insightful David Hale Smith, is truly a pleasure. Thomas Dunne, John Cunningham, and the rest of the team at St. Martin’s Press are exceptional in every facet.

My early readers—Bob Hammel, Laura Lane, and Janice Rickert—were outstanding, and greatly appreciated.

My uncle, Kevin Marsh, of the Cleveland Metroparks Rangers, provided insight into his department and the Cleveland law enforcement community in general. He should not, however, be blamed for any errors made or liberties taken by this writer.

Thanks also to Don Johnson of Trace Investigations, and to Stewart Moon, Donita Hadley, and the rest of the Herald-Times gang.

During the year surrounding publication of my first book, a number of writers whom I greatly admire went out of their way to offer advice, encouragement, and support. Such opportunities were without question the highlight of the first-book experience for me, and I am greatly indebted to all of you.
